Hi all. I am an active Wikidata user from Brazil. There is up to now no administrator from Brazil or Portugal. I sometimes come across cases on which administrative actions might be needed, particularly deletion. I am a sysop on two other projects --Wikiversity and Outreach-- and I believe I can contribute directly. As I am not very active on meta admin activities on Wikidata yet, I hope I can learn from others and serve as a liaison between Portuguese-speaking contributors and project administration. It might also be worth mentioning I am one of the organizers of a series of Wikidata Labs we've held in Brazil, on which features of Wikidata are shared among Wikimedians and training is offered. These labs have been systematically advertised on the Village Pump (in Portuguese) and on social media, newsletters etc. Thanks for considering this application! --Joalpe (talk) 21:10, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Votes edit
- Support You have made lots of contributions to Wikimedia projects, so I supoort your candidacy, but please add more information to items you have created, such as Benedito Mergulhão (Q54981541) and Luis Roberto Alves da Costa (Q54557474). --Okkn (talk) 06:49, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Can I suggest you take a look at Wikidata:WikiProject Counter-Vandalism? I have seen vandalism in Portuguese, so it would be good to have somebody patrolling specifically for that language. ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:59, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Support As ArthurPSmith. --Epìdosis 19:40, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comments edit
- @Okkn: thanks for your message and for pointing these two items I had not worked on properly. Sorry! They are both associated to a GLAM initiative with the Brazilian National Archives; we have had a task force to create hundreds of biographies of politicians on Wikidata. This GLAM initiative --as well as other Brazilian Wikimedians have been working on-- has been an opportunity to really work on integrating Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects. To give an example, we have worked on several Wikidata-fed infoboxes (I am quite proud of the one on documents), Listeria-generated lists (w:pt:Lista das constituições brasileiras) structuring as much as we could uploads on Commons (from the simple depicted-person template to exclusively feeding metadata on Wikidata)... I know this context is moving away from your specific point, so I hope you don't mind for bringing this up. Thanks again. --Joalpe (talk) 00:11, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
